The Writer's Studio
A collaboration with the Stanford Storytelling Project and the Hume Center, The Writer's Studio is a Monday workshop series combining the best of our two respective series, “The Art of Writing” and “StoryLab.”
We are joining forces to share with students how principles and practices of creative writing can widely apply to many genres and media--from fiction to journalism, from spoken word to film. In addition to workshops in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, we also offer workshops in screenwriting, the graphic novel, writing for radio, and other exciting genres. The Writer's Studio is open to Stanford affiliates only.

Upcoming Events
When we write a poem, we are also outlining for our readers one way of receiving information. What we choose to show—or leave out—in our work defines the poem’s frame.
Have you ever read a poem that seemed to transform right in front of you? That you can’t wrap your head around? That seemed to (nearly) take flight?
For long, the human desire to make meaning of what has been lost to time has inspired our storytelling. But how can the act of remembering itself be rendered in our writing?
Unlock the magic of storytelling alchemy by transforming written words into captivating live performances.
